"Even in the epochs when gods were active, monarch-level combat power was the core force on the Black Fog battlefield. Ancient records state that countless monarchs once formed a King's Great Wall, standing firm against the descent of great terror with their flesh and blood."

Rod listened in awe, unable to resist asking, "What about Alan?"
Molly replied indifferent, "Alan... nobody knows, his exact combat power hasn't been measured in detail for many years, he's too busy, no time, but the Ashen Throne hasn't opened for him, he seems to be half a step short."
"Oh..." Rod felt slightly disappointed yet very excited.
